The GOP lost every swing state wide election this year except for 1 (PA-Senate). And even that was razor thin in a Red Wave year.

They lost Governors/Senate races in

Arizona Nevada North Carolina Michigan Wisconsin

I know it’s normal for the presidential candidates to receive the most votes on a ballot. But even the Dems that won these races weren’t too far behind Kamala Harris. Yet the Republicans candidates were way behind trump.

Why is this? Do these people literally go to the ballot box just to vote trump and leave?

    From what I’ve seen, most people don’t care about their parties “agenda”. They usually just hear about one of two issues and take a stance on that.

    A majority of the Trump votes, especially the ones that didn’t vote down ballot, were pissed at the status quo and voted against “normalcy”.

    They don’t know what sort of crazy shit Trump will bring, but they know they don’t want any more of what they have now.

    I’m not saying it’s the right stance to have, but it’s understandable.

      I mean me personally, I’m not voting for a candidate if I don’t atleast have a good grasp of their agendas & policies. But that’s just me.

        You and me both, but I heard that all political posts on social media came from 10% of users, I don’t know how accurate that is, but even if it’s much higher, that’s still a large majority of people who just have “more important things” to pay attention to.
